Next London Mayor

[belboid]

Thats a big enough lead for Corbyn to risk standing without handing a majority over to the tories

 

[hash tag]

Actually according to wiki there are a number of others who've also declared they're running or thinking about running. Among them, George Galloway, Jezza Corbyn, and a certain Boris Johnson

Won't Corbyn try and remain an MP?
Also, I suspect George will get Rochdale.

The latest poll results - based upon polling before the intervention of an immediate past Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party:

Sadiq Khan has 25-point lead over Susan Hall in London mayoral race, new poll finds

Cox is standing for the Reform "party", not "Referendum"

Cox is standing for the Reform "party", not "Referendum"

This may be an indication of the impact his campaign is having on the Mile End Institute at Queen Mary, University of London.

In his socials flounce yesterday, the spurned candidate Scully expressed his confidence in the selected candidate Hall:

 

[philosophical]

Voting for the next Mayor of Lewisham on Thursday.

 

[Orang Utan]

The urbanite who dreamt up the Brixton Crack Squirrels story right here could be the next London Mayor!

Is this the second erstwhile Urbanite to run for mayor? Or did Wolfgang Moneypenny/Trevor Bastard/Streatham Rovers ever frequent here also, making it three?

 

[nightowl]

I see Susan Hall's latest suggestion is that the Metropolitan Police should deal with misconduct behind closed doors. Yeah, a bit of secrecy will really restore confidence in the most scandal-ridden force in the UK.
Tory Mayor candidate says Met should deal with misconduct behind closed doors

He has been crowdfunding as it is expensive (maybe £10k to stand) and he also needs 10 nominations from every borough as well. Be great if he gets a top 6 or more

There will be no changes to ULEZ says Khan.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan rules out Ulez changes

Sadiq Khan says Ulez will not include pay-per-mile charges or tighter restrictions while he is mayor.

[GarveyLives]

The shape of things to come:

"The Conservatives have deleted an online video that used scenes of a panicked crowd at a New York subway station to criticise Sadiq Khan’s record on crime in London.

The attack ad, posted on X in support of Susan Hall – Khan’s rival for the London mayoralty, showed people panicking and rushing through New York’s Penn station after false reports of gunfire in 2017 ..."

Tories delete Sadiq Khan attack ad showing New York instead of London

tbh if he said we're ditching the boris buses and bringing back the routemasters with hybrid or electric engines he'd romp home.

In all the fuss about Loser Fox not getting his homework done on time I'd missed the fact that RefUK couldn't even find a London Mayoral candidate who lives in London:

 

[skyscraper101]

Ugh, Britain First managed to con enough signatures out of elderly folk to get on the ballot then.

"No to immigration" is not vote winner in London

 

[nagapie]

Does anyone know why they are counting the votes manually this time instead of electronically?

Fuck off with that ageist crap.

True, but as he's not a massive cunt representing a massive cunt party, I reckon old Dusty gets a pass!

Fuck off with that ageist crap.

Yeah. Paul Golding was going around intimidating residents of the Golden Lane estate into nominating Nick Scanlon earlier this week. You can read about it below.

I wasn’t being ageist. Actually.

The shape of things to come:

"The controversial Conservative attack video that portrayed London as a crime-racked hellhole was put together by the central party rather than its mayoral candidate, and has dismayed some around Susan Hall, the Guardian has learned..."

Controversial attack ad on Sadiq Khan made solely by Tory HQ, source says

"There needs to be greater awareness among the public of the risks [of online disinformation]” the Deputy Prime Minister Oliver Dowden told MPs on Monday, adding that citizens should make themselves aware of the “need to treat images [online] with much more scepticism”.

Yet within minutes of Dowden warning about rogue states spreading disinformation , the Conservative Party had released its own attack advert falsely claiming that London had become a “crime capital of the world” ..."

i think a crack squirrel would be a more credible candidate than the tory...

I'd vote for them! *

Twitter is basically khan and Rayner today.
Lots of this shit, but the replies are comedy.

 

[GarveyLives]

The recently televised party election broadcasts produced by the Conservative Party and Reform seem to be targeting the votes and support of motor cars. From recollection, the party election broadcast produced by the Labour Party had very different imagery and a greater emphasis on human beings (perhaps someone might be able to locate and post it for comparison):

How would the next London mayor change the capital?

The SDP are quite peculiar, I didn't even knew they existed till a few weeks ago.
Apparently ULEZ is part of Khan's woke spending

Why didn’t Binface get a double page spread in the London Elects postal brochure? Do the candidates have to pay costs or something?
